no problem, next time you have a question you might try doing a "search" for the topic.

I'm not getting on you about this, I have seen probably 50 threads about the same thing.

Axle Identification
Differential ID
Gear Ratio Question
9" ID Tag Code
etc.
ect.

I am always glad to help anyone I can. Good luck
